The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
No animal shall wear clothes.
No animal shall sleep in a bed.
No animal shall drink alcohol.
No animal shall kill any other animal.
All animals are equal.

"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different."
- Douglas Murray

Exactly, besides who ever said world domination by a gian army of super crabs would be a bad things?

On the topic of genetic modification, I am all for research. Food, I'm not so sure. Its almost impossible to find reliable information since there always seems to be someone who gives a health concern against it and not many knowledgeable people are taking the time to refute them.

Take a look at the links I posted, particularly the beginners guide, it is extremely unbiased. There is a table on all the pros and cons witch is very helpfull. To me all the cons can be worked around.

Just out of curiosity what do you guys think of it? Good, Bad, indifferent? Any particular reasons?

I would say "not particularly helpful". Note that most seed companies are now owned by Monsanto or a subsidiary, and Monsanto is the only corporation I've ever called "evil", categorically. Terminator technology is easily the worst and most malicious idea ever to be devised by a human mind, and monoculture is both unstable and unsustainable. Nuclear weapons would be #2 on that list, seeing as they were simply an extension of attempting to build a bigger fire. That, I can rationalize. Interrupting the life cycle of an already ecologically-challenged monoculture is pure insanity.

Furthermore, genetic modification of plants hasn't produced the kinds of yields it was supposed to, and in certain cases, has actually decreased the viability of certain plants. The whole "we're making more food to feed the hungry" line is total crap. They have intellectual property that does stuff, and they make money off of it.

well, in fairness, Bt Corn is slightly ahead of regular corn.

But, yeah. I agree on most other points.

Monoculture agriculture is the underlying culprit, though. It was a bad idea to begin with. Any future problems are just thegoober cherries atop the shit sunday, as it were.

"Natasha has just come up to the window from the courtyard and opened it wider so that the air may enter more freely into my room. I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."
